Abstract
The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic made us rethink the need for integrating modern scientific algorithms in decision support as well as medical systems. This chapter focuses on the on-going efforts throughout the world for tackling the COVID-19 pandemic with the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. The chapter also compiles the various efforts made internationally for providing solution to this disease. The examples of use of algorithms like artificial neural network, fuzzy clustering, and support vector machines for both the disease recognition as well as in medical aid have been stated. Finally, the chapter also reiterates the need for developing even more advanced algorithms and prediction systems in case of future pandemic outbreaks due to ever mutating microorganisms and other lifestyle problems. More than just scientific and governmental endeavors, prudent handling of any emergency health situation requires awareness as well as self-discipline exercised by inhabitants of any country.
